It ain't quite as harrowing as the Shippies Step but the proximity to dry rock gives the Solander Step its own fear factor. Blow it here and you're grating cheese.

Last Friday Perth Standlick spread his wings as he cleared the step then regathered and set his rail into a fun-sized barrel. At the same time photographer, Charlie Straumeitis, lost focus as Perth was in the pit ('Damn spectators') but regathered to capture Perth hitting the channel.

And that GoPro camera attached to Perth's front leg? "Came out rubbish," said the young bloke from Bondi. "Camera fogged up."
